Clown Motel: The Feature

Much to the dismay of the circus, clowns are once again terrifying in 2018. To celebrate, award-winning filmmaker Joseph Kelly is bringing feature-length horror/comedy Clown Motel to the screen. And he’s not clowning around with this production.

Plans are in place to begin filming at the actual Clown Motel in Tonopah, Nevada sometime in 2018. Ari Lehman — the original Jason Voorhees — will be starring opposite Tony Moran (the unmasked Michael Myers in John Carpenter’s Halloween). The script was penned by Kelly, with some creative story development by the creator of the Final Destination series, Jeffrey Reddick, who is also one of the film’s producers.

Clown Motel follows a group of Ghosthunters coming from an old ghost town and a bachelorette party returning home from Las Vegas.
